It is losing coolant/radiator water fairly quickly - over a week or two!? :-k
ChrisW:
First thought that springs to mind is head gasket :shock:
My cylinder head failed between the water jacket and the exhaust ports - only indication was getting a bit warm on the temp guage and steam out of the exhaust :evil:
beast5680:
is your cooling system pressurizing when its cold?
Budgie:
Gord, before you go getting your head gasket changed............
Mine also puts out a grey smoke on hard acceleration (foot to the boards) and I mainly only notice it at night. Mine is due to the mods I've made to the injector pump and the larger intercooler.
Yours could be the same so try backing off the injector pump diaphram that we altered in Belgium and see what it's like. If that doesn't make any difference then start looking else where, and get that diaphram back to where you like it! :wink:
